Box 1609, Provo, Utah 84603 Outlook Is Positive For Continued Accreditation Following the April 12-14 Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges Accreditation Team visit at Utah Technical College at Pro-voOrem, team members filed a preliminary report to President J. Marvin Higbee commending the College and encouraging administrative officials to pursue quality vocational and general education programs. Dr. Eldon Schafer, chairperson of the visiting team and president of Lane Community College, met with over 30 top College officials and 14 committees which represented the College community. Following that meeting Schafer and his team made preliminary report recommendations which were returned to the college for the proofreading of statistical information. The report will now be submitted to the main governing board of the Association on June 13, for final review and decision. "An institution may ignore all recommendations made by the team, but it is always helpful to have outside input," Schafer said.

Schafer pointed out that he felt it is appropriate for the College to have the community college status because of the community assistance it provides and because general education programs pay for the higher cost of vocational education programs. He also expressed agreement with the desire for a name change because of the great degree of confusion with Utah Technical College at Salt Lake, which is a completely separate institution. "A community college strengthens the vocational education programs and provides opportunities for the community, "he said.

The team also recommended that consideration be given to testing services, a college-wide technical advising committee and strengthened short-term pre-employment training, industry based upgrading and retaining and related instruction for apprentices. President J. Marvin Higbee will meet with the Association during the June meeting to discuss these recommendations and will then, later in June, receive the final decision from that group.
